McFly Family, Wednesday, Week 2
Well, we're back at the McFlys, I once again didn't have Doc over. . . I did have someone else over, though. Stuff did happen!
Stuff like -- Marty talking knitting with his mother. I swear, my Sim versions of the characters try to be as unlike the characters themselves as possible.
Just your typical morning at the McFly household before school and work.
Digging in the backyard -- in the snow -- in your nightgown.
You could have at least had the decency to find more than a rock, Lorraine. (Not even a big rock!)
I find other ways to make her useful and have her study the hell out of Mechanical. No broken shower will ever plague us again!
Hey, have you ever looked at all the stuff they cram in some of these bookcases? There's a bust, a clock, some pottery -- it's actually pretty neat. I gotta say, the Sims 2 is still capable of surprising me with some pretty.
Dave and Linda arrive home, Linda with a friend in tow -- Gavin Newson. What do you think of Gavin, Linda?
Linda: Eh -- I can take him or leave him.
Good, because he's a Sim Bin Sim I don't particularly feel like moving into a house just so you can date him. Bye Gav! Have fun rotting in the code!
Lorraine: Curse you and your excellent red hands skills!
Linda: Well, I had to do something while you were all pretending I was the unfavorite.
Studying! It's actually kind of sad how few skills Dave and Linda have. They're so clearly "Sims that only exist for the purposes of family accuracy." Marty, meanwhile, has nearly maxed Creativity.
George arrives home (with an extra 7,500 simoleons from a good chance card), and discovers that someone else has shown up for dinner -- headmaster Korey Howe and his afro. Oddly enough, I'm not trying out private school for either George or Lorraine, but rather for DAVE. It's a persistent want of his.
Dave: And they're talking about maybe adding a train line --
Korey: I LIKE TRAINS! :DDD
I can't wait to see what kind of school he runs.
Korey: So, use lots of mortars and pestles at your job?
George: No, because it's the 21st century -- never mind our clothing choices.
George, suck up to him -- Grandma's Comfort Soup can only go so far!
Lorraine fails too at schmoozing the guy. Come on, do it for your son!
Korey: If you don't start really impressing me, your path to my school will hit some major roadblocks.
Talking is not going well. Let's try a tour of the house.
Lorraine: I really don't see what's all that impressive about this room.
Shush, I'm trying to win a scenario here.
The house tour goes well, but we're still a few points shy of winning the day. Dave tries again to impress the headmaster:
Dave: I've got THREE BFFs! Not to be confused with BBBFFs or PFFs. Though I guess I might be the former to Marty.
But things go downhill again after that. Maybe the solution is to try hanging out.
Korey: At our private school, students learn only the best math, English, and science! Our teachers are held to the highest standards. All subjects are regularly reviewed to update information and catch factual errors. We want our quality of education to be the highest in the world! Students who go here. . .
Korey: . . .Also, we repaint the walls with amusing and inspiring murals every six weeks, comfort-test all desks, make sure chalk is up to regulation standards --
Dave: OH GOD I CAN'T TAKE ANY MORE PLEASE TELL ME THIS WORKED AND WE'RE IN.

Fortunately for Dave's sanity, it has! The McFly clan is going to private school! Was it worth it, Dave?
Dave: I can't remember the last time I was actually in Platinum, so yes.
Good.
And that's the McFlys! Next up are the Van Dorts, who generally are good for a longer update. Keep your fingers crossed!
